Dammit. I gave in to temptation and searched "are human beings white meat or dark meat?" Not only am I probably on some kind of government internet list now, it came up with a recipe for "slow cooker poor man's stew."

better than a stick up an ass, I guess. Or not. You mileage - and tastes - may vary

Some acquaintances of mine was kinda shocked/disgusted when I said I'd eaten brains (cow brains) and they are actually delicious. In my native tongue, the word "brain" is actually synonymous with delicious. And they truly are. Same "disgusted" person would eat the freaking EYE of a fish they'd cooked for lunch

Nor a fan of deep-fried stuff usually, Out, though the fried bananas they have here, in Brazil, are great. But yeah, pickles are not something I would ever consider deep-frying.

1. Incest
On the topic of "love", atheists say as long as two adults are consenting (and some would say if there is also no power play), there is no problem with them being a couple. This argument is often used to support the rights of homosexuals.

If this is the case, can a brother and sister form a sexual relationship in an atheists view? They will of course use contraception as to avoid defective offspring.

Most progressive people I know tend to look toward mutual informed consent as being the key to whether or not sex is ethical. Of course, not all atheists are progressives, and, as DLJ said, I think you're somehow confusing atheism/theism as the basis for this opinion. I don't base my decision on other people's belief systems.

That being said, I don't see anything ethically wrong with it if both people are consenting. I find it kind of gross, personally, but that's not the same as unethical.

Also on the topic of "love" I guess? Where is the red line? At what point do we stop this "two consenting adults" game?
Do atheists believe animals cannot consent? Is consent only verbal? Does that mean the only sex that occurs in the animal kingdom is rape, since there is no verbal acceptance of a sexual relationship?

Mutual informed consent, again. Animals can't consent, so this is off limits, and creepy.

Also, your bizarrely graphic depiction of the act is also somewhat creepy.

Anything wrong with this? If it is cooked right, what is the evolutionary problem according to atheists?

So long as you didn't kill the person to eat them, I don't see anything inherently unethical. There are potential health concerns, but that's a different matter.
